Fat:tl .Accidents.
Chicago, Jane 15. The Frst serious ac
cident since the opening of the fair has oc
curred on Midway Plaisance. One man
mangled and dead and six men and wom
en terribly injured tell the tale of the last
trip of a coasting train on the ice railway.
The victims of the catastrophe are:
Dead X. D. Richmond, Dunlap, Ilia.,
face terribly torn, three ribs broken and
injured internally. Died one hour after
being removed to Columbian hospital.
Seriously injured Miss May Ayres. Chi
cago, both legs broken, jaw crushed and
internally injured: Carl Frick, member of
the German Cavalry band in the German
village on plaisance. rittht arm broken,
nose broken and back and legs hurt; John
Jacobs, Algerian village, jaw broken,
crushed about head: Henry Jacobs, Alge
rian village, left leg cut and bruised, in
ternal injuries; D. S. Slater. Chicago, right
leg cut ami bruised; Henry 11 Mct.eroth,
Austin. Ills., legs cut. ringer broken and
jtck hurt.
Were Taking a Free Itide.
The ice railway was completed in the
afternoon ami was not open for business
at the time of the accident. The ice rail
way resembles a roller coaster track, ex
cept, that the track is covered with artifi
cial ice. The contrivance was tested by
the builders and many trial trips were
Bucessiully made with the workmen as
passengers. The public became interested
in the experiment and as nobody prevent
ed people to k advantage of the oppor
tunity to get a free ride. The train which
met with disaster was made of tiiree sleds
coupled together. As it was rounding a
curre at a terrific rate of speed the pin.
connecting the first and second sleds
broke. The second and third sleds jumped
the track, crashed through the frail rail
ing and their helpless occupants were
hurled through the air to the ground be
low with tremendous force.
Two of the Injured May Iie.
A cry of horror went up from the specta
tors. Guards rushed trthe scene, and in
a short time the injured were removed in
ambulances to the Columbian hospital
near-by, where everything was done to re
lieve their sufferings. Richmond never
regained consciousness after the accident,
and the physicians saw at once that there
was no hope of saving his life. The other
victims were made as comfortable as possi
ble, and afterward some were removed in
ambulances to the city hospitals and others
were taken to their homes. Miss Avers
and John Jacobs sustained the most ser
ious injuries, and their recovery is doubt
ful. The others, while dangerously hurt,
are likely to survive. The accident is likely
to put a serious check on the business of
the ice railway and similar enterprises, for
the time being, at least.
TEN FREIGHT CARS RUN AWAY.
Five Men Injured, One Fatally, on the
Xirkel Mate Road.
BUFFAI, June 15. Five men were in
jured, one fatally, and twenty cars
smashed in a wreck on the Xickel Plate
road at Hamburg. A freight train of
thirty cars was coming down the grade
when it broke in two. The brakemen
were not aware of the fact and the engi
neer did not stop until he reached the foot
of the hill. The ten runaway cars came
dashing down the grade at the rate of fifty
miles an hour. There was a frightful
crash when they struck the forward sec
tion and cars were telescoped and piled
up to a height of twenty-five feet.
Xews of the wreck was telegraphed' to
Buffalo and a wrecking train and surgeon
were sent to the scene of the accident.
Trainmen who escaped and others from
the neighborhood of the wreck went to
work in search of victims. The first to
be taken out was James D. Dougherty. H
lives at Sharon, Pa., and with anotherman
was workinc his wav to Buffalo. He was
riding on the section that broke loose
When the crish came he was tossed into
the air and dropped into the wreck, where
he was found unconscious. Joseph Cjuinn,
of Sharon, Pa., Dougherty's companion,
was pinned between the cars. Joseph Bus
key, who was stealing a ride, was thrown
twenty feet and rendered unconscious.
The two other injured men were brake
men, and were not seriously hurt. Dough
erty, Quinn, and Buskey were brought to
the hospital here. Dougherty was found
to be terribly bruised about the head, his
right leg fractured, and badly bruised
tbout the chest. Quinn's right leg is frac
tured above the knee, and he is injured
about the head and face and ulso inter
nally, and will probably die. Buskey has
a broken shoulder and two ribs fractured.
ly behind, was - telescoped.. A peculiar
feature of the accident is that none of the
passengers was killed or fatally injured.
Switchback Car Jumps the Track.
Philadelphia,, June 15. A car on the
Switchback railway at Cape May Point,
N. J., jumped the track and collided with
another. Xine lersons were injured, two
seriously. Lyiiia Woodward, aged 17, of
Boone, Delaware county, Pa., has a badly
lacerated acalp, suffers concussion of the
brain, Arthur Harris, aged 23, of Darby,
has a broken ankle.
Another Uullding Collapses.
Keokuk, la., June 15. The three-storj
brick building on Xinth and May streets
fcas collapsed. Part of the building is oe
eupied as a saloon, which was crowded at
the time. The collapse came without
warning and buried a number of the occu
pants in the cellar. Harry Young was
taken out first, having sustained injuries
that are thought to be fatal. John lieal
was terribly bruised about the chest, but
will recover. Robert Gillard, Dan Stebin
ger, Charles Jenkins and William Higham
were all injured, but not seriously.
Four Men Seriously Hurt.
Pittsburg, June ;5. An accident oc
curred at the old government building at
Fifth avenue and Smithfield street, caused
by the collapse of the third floor. Four
men were badly and perhaps fatally hurt.
The injured are: Anthony Mungen, cut
about head and face and injured internally;
Patrick Harmon, serious scalp wound and
internal injuries; Tim Owens, leg broken,
body badly crushed; Franco Barro, head,
face, and neck terribly cut. Several other
workmen' were less seriously injured.
HAS MIXED SOME MATTERS UP.
The Decision in Colonel Ainsworth's Man
damus Case.
Washington, June 15. The decision of
Chief Justice Bingham on the petition of
Colonel Ains worth would seem to bring
matters down to the very simple basis of
requiring Dr. Patterson, the coroner of
the District of Columbia, to prccecd with
the inquest o,-er the Ford theatre victims
in place of Dr. Schaeffer, whose assump
tion of powers as deputy coroner has been
declared illegal by the District supreme
court. The part that affects Colonel
Ainsworth most is the decision that lie
has uo rights liefore a coroner's jury un
less permitted bv the coroner.
The chief justiced has uncovered a "state
of things, ' howeuer. if his decision is final
that there is no deputy coroner in the Dis
Vict and that all Shaeffer's acts have been
f.ivalid. The coroner. Dr. Patterson, is
incapacitated through age, poor health
and deafnessfrom acting as coroner and
Schaeffer has acted for some time past.
Kvery case in which Shadier has acted is
void. Seven commitments for manslaughter
and murder are illegal and the culpritsare
unlawfully held. In fact the decision has
raised quite a sensation.
The commissioners of the District of Col
umbia decided to order a new inquest over
the victims of the Ford s theatre disaster,
and directed Mr. Thomas, the attorney for
the District, to assist Coroner Patterson in
jonducting it. In view of Dr. Patterson's
ill health the commissioners thought ser
iously of appointing a new coroner, but on
Dr. Patterson's statement that he could
conduct tie inita if Mr Ttacias were
allowed to assist him the inquest was or
dered. Dr. Patterson decided to resummon
the old jury, Warner, Hanvey, Ayre, Kel
logg, ischneider, and Sibley.
THE HARVESTER IN COURT.
NO PASSENGERS WERE HURT.
Railway Wreck on the Northwestern
Fireman Leaklns Killed.
Cedar Rapids, la., June 15. Particulars
have been received here of the partial
wrecking of the limited train Xo. 2 on the
Chicago and Northwestern railway, going
east, at Belle Plains, forty miles west of
Cedar Rapids. The train was running at
A speed of fifty miles an hour, being behind
time, and in a deep cut dashed into a flat
car that had been uncoupled from a switch
engine about two miles up the track, and
was going down grade at the rate of twenty
miles an hour when the collision came.
The passenger engine was demolished
and overturned. William Leakins, the
fireman, was instantly killed, his body
being taken out of the wreck badly
mangled. Engineer Thomas Keefe was
severely scalded, bat it is thought he will
recover. The baggage car was completely
demolished and the chair car. immediate-
A Suit Involving $5,000,000 for Infringe
ment of Patent.
Xew Haven, Conn., June 15. Proceed
ings in a suit for which more than 5,000,-
000 profits and damages will be asked have
just been started by J. G. Richardson, the
well-known reaper and harvester expert of
this city. The suit will involve nearly all
the leading reaper and harvester manufac
turers of the United States, including the
combine and such well known firms ns
McCormick Ac Co., of Chicago; Champion
Company, of Springfield, Ills., and the
Wood Reaper works. Suit has first been
brought against D. M. Os'borne St Co., of
Auburn.
The complaint sets up that this com
pany and others have for a number of
years been engaged in manufacturing har
vesters on which a device is used, the es
sentials of which the complainant holds
letters patent for. The device in question
is known as the trip-hook mechanism for
delivering or discharging gavels of grain of
a uniform size. The patent, which it is
claimed the defendants have been infring
ing upon, is number lSl,ik4 and was
granted Thaddeus Fowler, of Seymour,
Conn., Aug. 2i.lSTi. The patent, therefore,
expires Aug. 20 next.

Springfield, Ills., June 15 Chairman
Salomon, of the joint committee which in

his report to the legislature todayi The
report recommends that the pending suit
instituted by the attorney general at Chi

DEFIANT FAENHAM
The G. A. R. Post That Wants
Pension Reform.
APPEALS TO THE NATIONAL BODY,
And Asks Permission to Prove That It Has
Been Calumniated Can tiet Along Out
side if the Request - Is Refused, and
While It Will Apologize It Will Never
Retract What It Ha Said About Pen
sion Matters.
Washington, June 15. The members of
the old Farnham post, now banded to
gether under the name of the Xoah L.
Farnham Independents, have decided to
appeal to the national encampment of the
Grand Army which meets at Indianapolis
in September for a settlement of their
trouble. The Independents met at their
old headquarters and listened to a report
submitted by a committee specially ap
pointed on May W to consider what action
it would be advisable to take. The report
recited the whole history of the controversy
between Farnham post and the depart
ment commander, claiming that the post
had lieen deprivedof its charter because of
its refusal to surrender the right of free
speech on the question of "pension abuse,
Apologized, Rnt Wouldn't RAract.
The post had apologized for infringing
the rule of 1SS that pension resolutions
should require the national headquarters
certificate before promulgation, but re
fused to withdraw the resolutions. The
council of administration at Albany, be-
fore which the special committee appeared
on May 12, refused to accept this apology,
but instead, according to the committee's
report, required the committee to sign a
statement drawn up by the committee.
This matter was still in abeyance when
the annullment of the charter was an
nounced.
Can He Comfortable Outside.
In its report the committee recommends
the sendiug of a letter to the national en
campment of 1S'.3 of the Grand Army of
the Republic, inclosing its report doubting
the wisdom of leaving the entire control of
pension matters in the Grand Army in the
hands of a committee composed largely of
pension agents; declaring that the resolu
tion of INSt violates the spirit of the consti
tution by abridging freedom of speech;
that if the encampment leaves the matter
in its present condition the post will be
comfortable outside the order.
tut Would Like Its Day in Court.
But if it shall prove that the voice of cal
umny has been raised against it ami that
mercenary men are not in control of its
councils the post would request to have its
charter returned on the ground that its ac
tion had been taken solely in the interest
and honor of the members of the Grand
Army. The resolutions were adopted with
hardly a dissenting voice.
GETTING READY TO GO HOME.
The Illinois Legislature loing a Very Lii-c-ly
lousiness.
Sprixgfiki.d, June 15. The senate has
passed bills authorizing and regulating
windstorm insurance companies; provid
ing that county school superintendents
shall not be dismissed without trial by
jury. The resolution providing for fcine
die adjournment tomorrow was concurred
in, and the bill raising the age of consent
to 1(5 years was passed. The Stringer educa
tional bill was sent to third reading and the
governor's veto of the appropriation to the
Dairymen's association sustained. The
Berry anti-pool selling bill was laid on
the table. The governor nominated Fred
erick B. Winston, of Cook County, for
Lincoln park commissioner to succeed W.
C. IGoudy.
The "sweat shop" bill has gone to the
governor from the house. The house-sent
to third reading a bill requiring all inter
est on public funds to be accounted for,
whether state, county, city, town, school,
park, or other funds. The bill makings
candidate ineligible for the office he wants
if he bribes in any way, and disfranchising
a voter for two years if he "strikes" the
candidate for a favor, was passed. The
bill permitting towns of 80,000 or more
population to sprinkle streets by special
assessment was passed, as were the bills
giving the Chicago drainage board police
powers, appropriating money for the Quin
cy Soldiers' home and state reformatory at
Pontiac.
The bill prohibiting special taxation in
cities and towns for anything except side
walks was passed; so was the bill provid
ing for uniformity in the assessment of
banks. A number of measures were ad
vanced to third reading, including the
anti-Pinkerton bill. A bill to divide spe
cial assessments into seven annual in
stallments was passed.

being a reduction. The wounded, with the
exception of Kluga. who cannot live twenty-four
hours, will all probably recover.

DEFIES THE FEDERAL JURY.
A Chicago Ticket Rrokcr Refuses to Pro
duce His I'ooks.
.Chicago, June 15. The federal grand
jury while inquiring into the affairs of the
Xickel-Plate Railroad company regarding
alleged violations of the interstate com
merce law was defied by D. H. Silvers, a
ticket broker, who testified in a general
way regarding his relations with the road,
but positively refused to produce his books
in substantiation of his statements.
Judge Grosscup was appealed to by the
jury and he took the matter under consid
eration. The specific charge against the
Xickel Plate road is that it has sold pas
senger tickets for less than the agreed
tariff rates, possibly through brokers.
